Patent CA-2497381-A1 (CA)
Title: High profile geotextile fabrics
Inventor: THEISEN MARC S
IPC: E02D3/12
Filed: 1994-09-15
Abstract: A method for stabilizing soil and reinforcing vegetation includes placing a single-layered, three-dimensional, high-profile woven geotextile fabric (10) into the soil.  The single-layered, homogeneous fabric (10) is woven from monofilament yarns (12, 14) having different heat shrinkage characteristics such that, when heated, the fabric forms a thick three-dimensional, cuspated profile. The monofilament yarns (12, 14) have a relatively high tensile strength and a relatively high modulus at 10 percent elongation so as to provide a fabric which is greater in strength and more dimensionally stable than other geotextile structures. Thus, the geotextile fabric (10) is suitable for use on slopes, ditches and other embankments and surfaces where erosion control, soil stabilization and/or vegetative reinforcement may be necessary. The homogeneous, single-component nature of the fabric (10) promotes easier handling and minimizes failure points, while offering a thick, strong and dimensionally stable product upon installation.

IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: Selon l'invention, pour faciliter la création de règles pour le triage des demandes de couches d'application adressées à une application sur ordinateur, un espace échantillon de demandes de couche d'application est créé d'après un ou plusieurs critères de regroupement. Chaque critère de regroupement peut être une caractéristique de demandes de couche d'application de sorte que chaque regroupement contient des demandes de couche d'application ayant une caractéristique commune. Par exemple, lorsque les demandes de couche d'application suivent le protocole de transfert hypertexte (HTTP), une caractéristique commune à quelques regroupements pourrait être une extension commune de nom d'accès URI. Une règle établie pour une application peut être utilisée pour déceler la présence d'erreurs dans l'application. Des demandes d'essai sont élaborées, qui violent toutes au moins l'une des règles. Ces demandes d'essai sont transmises à l'application afin de vérifier si l'application rejette les exceptions attendues.

Inventor: COLLINS P MICHAEL
IPC: E04F21/165
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: An efficient and reliable installation for a water tight and an aesthetically pleasing transition between adjacent building or construction components is provided with use of a backer rod material for placement between adjacent building or construction components for subsequent caulking. A closed cell foam backer rod material includes a terminal end portion of the backer rod joined to a remainder thereof by a frangible connection or perforated joint. The frangible connection or joint in the backer rod is nonlinear or arcuate-shaped to provide a crown-shaped or convex-shaped backer rod surface to receive the caulking compound to finish the joint. After the backer rod material is installed into the joint, the terminal end portion of the backer rod is removed by being torn along the frangible joint. A bead of caulk or similar finishing material is applied in the recess to provide a smooth and aesthetically pleasing transition from the frame to the wall. The convex or crown shape of the exposed surface of the backer rod material allows for and promotes integrity of the caulking compound during shifting, expansion and/or contraction of the adjacent building components relative to each other.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un serveur de fichier (1), communiquant avec un client distant (par exemple, assistant numérique personnel (7), client avec téléphone mobile (5)), qui reçoit des images depuis un appareil de prise de vues (2) ou une mémoire vidéo (4) sous forme d'images complètes. Un programme de sélection et de compression assure la transmission de trains de bits définissant une image vidéo comprimée aux fins d'affichage sur l'écran comparativement réduit du client mobile et permet la sélection simple de zoom virtuel et de zone d'image, aux fins de visualisation par l'utilisateur. Des algorithmes de compression et de sélection permettent à l'utilisateur de sélectionner un angle de vue à nombre de pixels correspondant par rapport à l'écran local, mais à partir de l'ensemble de l'image originale, avec compression intégrale, et sélections variables de compression jusqu'à la sélection par le serveur de fichier (1) d'une partie de l'image originale ayant le même nombre de pixels. Le système peut être utilisé en particulier lorsque la largeur de bande entre le client et le serveur de fichier est limitée, ce qui permet de ne pas transmettre la totalité de l'image vidéo au client et d'utiliser seulement une signalisation de retour limitée depuis le client vers le serveur.

IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of single- or double-stranded nucleic acids that contain a fragment of the hsgk in the diagnosis of hypertonia. The said fragment has a minimum length of 10 nucleotides/base pairs and the said fragment further comprises a polymorphism which is the result of the presence or absence of an insert of the nucleotide G in position 732/733 in intron 2 of the hsgk1 gene. The invention also relates to the use of the direct correlation between overexpression or the functional molecular modification of human homologues of the sgk family and the length of the Q/T time in the diagnosis of the Long QT syndrome, and to the use of the nucleic acid of a human homologue of the sgk gene family or of one of its fragments in the diagnosis of the Long QT syndrome. Polymorphisms of single nucleotides (single nucleotide polymorphisms = SNP) in the human homologues of the sgk gene family are especially useful in the diagnosis of a congenital predisposition for the Long QT syndrome. In another aspect, the invention relates to the use of a functional activator or a transcriptional factor which boosts expression of the genes of the sgk family for producing a drug for use in the therapy and/or the prophylaxis of the Long QT syndrome.
